Impressive engineering here - looking forward to seeing more progress!

 

@derrin71 - nice hatch, what size wheels/tyres are you running on it?

[turbo76lx]

Got the rear subframe in and back on its wheels, also fitted the motor.

Was going to run a link thunder but they aren't making them anymore. Might look at the link voodoo or the emtron kv8.

Great to see progress on this one! I spotted it on a YouTube video the other day of a workshop update at SRC and thought this surely must be your car! I'm so excited to see it getting close to being finished now.

Great news on the job with Shane, he's a legend. You've probably seen some my renders in there of his Fairlane and as well as all of Ben's cars and a few others. I haven't been up for a visit in a while, I should plan another soon

 

Keep up the good work mate!

Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.

At home, the colour changes a lot with the light.

Some cameras do a better job than others. Flash off with either fluros or natural daylight is usually most accurate.

I remember seeing the idea for this build when I first joined the forum. Coming back after quite a few years and seeing all of the progress has blown me away. Such an awesome idea and I love the colour and can't wait to watch this one progress!
